Huawei long has had trouble with US relations, in part because it sells not just phones but also network equipment used to route sensitive data around the internet. Years ago, it hired lobbyists and public relations staff to help win over the country. Technology may be a global phenomenon, but that doesn't mean it's exempt from local political issues.

The company isn't wholly without allies, though. Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot is helping promote the Mate 10 Pro. If you're persuaded to buy the $800 phone, you can look for it at retailers like Amazon, BestBuy, Microsoft, NewEgg and B&H.
